The EU DAG under the TCA met for the first time after the renewal of its composition. After a tour de table for introductions and first exchange on the Rules of Procedure, the group elected the new Chair (Daniel Pérez Vega) and Vice-Chairs (Tanja Buzek & Luísa Santos) and started a preliminary discussion on the priorities and activities of the DAG.
Current legislation requires N2 vehicles to be equipped with speed‑limitation devices, a rule originally designed for heavy‑duty vehicles to ensure road safety and environmental protection. Electric vans, however, often fall into the N2 category solely due to their battery weight. The exemption aims to align electric vans with their fossil‑fuel equivalents and support the transition to cleaner transport.
